Okay, I've been in the fish hobby for over a year now and I have an established 20gal that I would like to plant. I have read alot of the threads and have visited Rex's site as well. I think I understand most of what I have read. Now here's the questions that remain:
1. I have not seen any threads (or I may have overlooked) that tell if there will be any major water changes after I start planting. Will there be any changes that I need to watch for that will be harmful to my fish? My water is very stable with good middle of the road parameters on ph and such. Will this change?
2. When I start planting, I want to create neat little "flower bed" effects in my tank. (I say flower beds for lack of a better descriptive term.) Do I need to change my entire substrate or can I do something that will create these little pockets of beauty that I am aiming for?
I hope I made sense, and I appreciate all advice.
